Chapter 2: Master and Disciple Both Defeated! You Are the One Who’s Lost Your Mind!:
“A**hole!”
“You dare call me, Ye Qingxian, a love-struck fool?”
“You’re the one who’s lost your mind!”
“Your whole family is full of idiots!”
“A**hole!”
Ye Qingxian was furious.
At this moment, everything else faded away. The idea of being the most beautiful woman in the East, the cold and aloof beauty, none of it mattered anymore. She had only one goal now: to find this guy named Lu Yun, cut him into pieces, take his soul, and turn it into a sky lantern!
But wait…
Ye Qingxian’s face suddenly changed. She realized something important.
She, Ye Qingxian, was a cultivator at the Sky Refining Realm. How could someone like her be a fool and fall in love at first sight like some lovesick? It was absurd!
Who would focus on romance when they were all immortals, striving to break through their limits and reach the immortal realm? The thought made no sense.
Moreover, she had never even met Lu Yun before. How did he know she existed?
The content of the diary was just too strange.
Once Ye Qingxian calmed down, she read the diary again from the beginning, and finally, she understood.
The diary was following a plot, and according to that plot, someone would come and steal Lu Yun’s opportunity. This person would be pressured by Lu Yun, train harder, and then humiliate him. This cycle would strengthen the protagonist and help them ascend.
And Ye Qingxian?
She was supposed to be part of the protagonist’s harem, losing her mind and falling in love with him. Because of this love, she would help the protagonist ascend. It was ridiculous!
If anyone had said this to her before she got the diary, she would have killed them with her sword. But seeing how confidently Lu Yun wrote, she couldn’t help but believe it.
First, Lu Yun didn’t know her, so he had no reason to lie. And it was impossible for ordinary people to know her name.
Second, if she accepted that their world was a novel world, then all the strange things made sense.
In other words, it was like the novel she had read in the mortal world. There was a protagonist, and she was one of the heroines. And Lu Yun was the villain, existing to challenge the protagonist and ultimately lose to them.
As one of the heroines, it made sense that she would lose her intelligence when meeting the protagonist and his overwhelming charm.
After all, novels often had ridiculous plots. She had once read a novel where a poor scholar had a princess fall madly in love with him, despite the absurdity.
As Ye Qingxian pieced it all together, her face grew cold.
“I am destined for greatness! How could I possibly be the heroine in such a clichéd novel?” She thought.
“And…” she gritted her teeth, filled with anger, “One of the concubines in a harem? One of many?! This is the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Heavenly Profound Territory! How could I ever share a husband with anyone? What a joke!”
Suppressing her rising fury, Ye Qingxian’s eyes became even colder. “Even if this is a novel world, I will not become part of the protagonist’s harem.”
If she hadn’t seen the diary, she might have walked the exact path Lu Yun described. But now, knowing the truth, she would never follow that fate.
Yet, another thought crossed her mind.
“If this really is a novel world, and Lu Yun has read it, doesn’t that mean he knows the ‘plot’ too?”
Her eyes brightened, feeling like she had found a new opportunity. “If I keep reading his diary, I can glimpse the future… and secretly change my own destiny!”
Ye Qingxian realized this diary was a priceless treasure.
It was more valuable than any rare artifact.
For the first time, her lips curved into a smile. Her beautiful face, always so calm, now showed a trace of joy.
“Novel world or not, I am a real person with free will!” she thought. “Now that I have this opportunity, how could I not become immortal?”
“As for romance? Even dogs wouldn’t bother with that!”
With this in mind, Ye Qingxian looked at the diary again, excitement shining in her eyes. “I wonder how many more surprises this diary has in store for me.”
[Oh, right!]
[And Ye Qingxian’s seven female disciples!]
[They’re also part of the protagonist’s harem, all brainless!]
[Whenever they see the protagonist, they turn into fools, losing all intelligence!]
[The cold senior sister? She becomes a shy little lamb around the protagonist.]
[They give away opportunities, elixirs, and even themselves, all for free.]
Bang!
In a cave at Qingxiu Peak, a granite table was smashed into powder by a delicate hand. The scene looked beautiful, like snowflakes, but the owner of the hand was furious.
Staring at the diary in her other hand, Lan Yurou’s face was full of anger.
“A**hole!”
“He thinks I gave it all away for free?”
“This lecher!”
Lan Yurou took deep breaths, trying to calm down. “No need to get angry… Since I know about this now, I can avoid it in the future. It’s better to know in advance than to be blindsided later.”
Even Ye Qingxian, with her strong will, was almost driven mad by what she read.
How could Lan Yurou, with less restraint, not be furious?
Lan Yurou took a long breath and, regaining her composure, started thinking.
“So, this world is a novel, and Master… is one of the protagonist’s harem. We seven sisters will end up just like Master… No! I won’t let Master or my sisters fall into this trap!”
Lan Yurou’s face darkened, and she glanced toward the entrance of the cave.
“According to the diary, the protagonist will definitely come to the disciple-taking ceremony. That’s the only reason he would come to Mystic Jade Sect. What if… we just kill him?”
That was her first thought after reading the diary.
If the protagonist were dead, everything would be fine. But there was a problem. Since he was the protagonist, he was protected by heaven. Killing him wouldn’t be easy, and trying might bring even worse consequences.
Even if he died, there could be a second or third protagonist to replace him.
So killing him was unrealistic, as was driving him away.
“Then we should let him join another peak. Out of sight, out of mind. That way, he won’t disrupt Master’s or our cultivation.”
She felt this was the best solution.
[Oh, forget it, none of this has anything to do with me. I’ll just sit back and watch.]
[This world has so many beautiful women. Why focus on just one tree when you can have the whole forest?]
The women reading the diary all frowned and spat in disgust. “Shameless pervert!”
[Oh, I should also bully the protagonist a bit at the ceremony, to give him some motivation to train harder.]
[Hey! I’m getting excited about being a villain for the first time!]
The women: …
[But I’m still a mortal right now, weak in the early stages. Better keep a low profile and not provoke anyone too powerful, or I’ll be slapped to death.]
The women: “We want to slap you to death right now!”
[No one cares about villains anyway. They’re disposable. It doesn’t matter if one dies, but I can’t afford to mess up if I want to get back home and become a true ancestor.]
The women: ?
[It’s fine! Don’t panic! I’ll just have a cigarette and relax.]
The women reading the diary were now even more frustrated. “What is this nonsense about cigarettes?”
[I’ll lay low for now, just keep suppressing the protagonist little by little.]
The women: …
[Alright, we’ve arrived. You can’t take the carriage for the rest of the way.]
[This sect is so full of itself. Just because you’re an immortal, you have to prove it by walking? How annoying!]
[When I become powerful, I’ll ride a carriage everywhere!]
The women: “Who’s full of themselves, huh?”
[Oh, this heavenly cigarette is amazing.]
[I think I’ve written enough words now. This diary needs to hit the word count for me to get rewards.]
[When I become strong, I’ll definitely… wait, I need a few more words… curse it, I can’t take it!]
The women: …
The diary abruptly stopped. All the women reading it were fuming.
“This a**hole!”
“Talking nonsense the whole time!” Ye Qingxian gritted her teeth, trembling with rage. But a moment later…
“Pfft!” Ye Qingxian couldn’t help it. She laughed for the first time in nearly a thousand years. Her smile was so beautiful that it could make cities fall and flowers wilt.
Looking off into the distance, her eyes softened as she whispered to herself, “How long has it been since my emotions last fluctuated like this? Today is the first time… Even though this guy is ridiculous, he’s quite entertaining.”
“A villain, huh? I want to see what kind of villain you’ll turn out to be.”
Her expression darkened as she continued, “Protagonist? A protagonist with destiny… If I can’t kill or drive him away, then let Senior Brother Kuya take him in. It’s fitting for an annoying disciple to have an annoying master.”
And with that, she vanished from the spot.
Meanwhile, at the foot of Mystic Jade Sect, Lu Yun held a cigarette in his mouth, scribbling with a carbon pen.
“Damn! I wrote too many words. What a loss!”
“This stupid diary needs exactly 1,500 words for a reward.”
“I deserve it!”
Just as Lu Yun finished muttering, the diary suddenly glowed. The carbon pen turned into a stream of light and flew into his forehead. Along with it, a flood of information entered his mind.
As Lu Yun absorbed the new knowledge, his eyes widened. “Hiss! Tortoise…!”
“Sorry, diary! I was a bit loud earlier.”
